Mr.. Blaine's Eulogy on Garfield.


A month or two ago statue of eX-Presi-
dent Garfield was unveiled at Washington
with imposing ceremonies, including ad-
dresses by President Cleveland, General
Sheridan and General Keifer. But nothing
was said by any of these distinguished
gentlemen that was half SO eloquent as
Mr.. Blaine's matchless eulogy which was
pronounced in the House of Representa-
tives, in the presence of all the leading
officers of the Government, on the life and
character of his friend, the murdered Gar
field. We append the peroration Of this
great address:
LAS the end drew near his early craving
for the sea returned. The stately mansion
of power had been to him the wearisome
hospital of pain, and he begged to be taken
from its prison walls, from its oppressive,
sitting air, from its homelessness and its
hopelessness. Gently, silently, the love OF
a great people bore the pale sufferer to the
longed-for healing of the sea, to live or to
die, as God should will, within sight of its
heaying pillows, within sound OF its mani
fold voices. With wan, fevered face ten
derly lifted to the cooling breeze, he looked
out wistfully upon the oceans changing
wonders: on its far sails. whitening in the
morning light on its restless waves roll
ing shoreward to break and die benea1h the
MONDAY sun on the red clouds OF even
ing, arching low to the horizon; on tie
serene and shining pathway of the stars.
Let us think that his dying eyes read a
mystic meaning which only the rapt and
parting soul may know. Let us believe
that IN the silence of the receding world
he heard the great waves breaking on
farther shore, and felt already upon his
wasted brow the breath Of the eternal
morning"

PALoUsE CRY, June 10, 1887

PALoUsE CRY, June 13, 1887.
A few words concerning our city.
Very little is known regarding the vol
ume of business that is carried on in this
place by readers Of the TELLER. Claim.
ing nearly six hnndrcd inhabitants, we
desire space enough in your columns to
show our natural advantages over other
places in Eastern Washington; having
the only water power between Spokane
Falls and Lewiston. Our future is a
certainty; our city, at present writing,
consists of three general merchandise
stores; three saw mills, having cutting
capacity of nearly one hundred thousand
feet OF lumber per day; the amount Of
logs drove to this place and vicinity will
reach nine million feet; this amount has
been driven here since the lst of March.
The grading on the s. & =. r. r., is
within half mile of town and within
sixty days the cars will be running into
Palouse City. Until within the last few
months little has been known Of the
Volume of business that has been tran
sacted in this place. Besides the large
saw mills We have sash and door fac
tory machine shops, five agricultural
implement houses two hardware stores !;
two hotels, (room for more) three res.
taurants; brewery, four saloons; two
livery stables; three blacksmith shops !;
one harness shop; one variety store; a
bank will be opened within sixty days;
two news papers, the Boomerang Iew-
iston's annexation s.and-by,) and the
Palousc Ne'os, (mugwump.) We have
large Touring mill run by water power
that is turning out first grade of flour
also shingle mill in course of construc.
ton. With annexation next year and
division of the counties, Palouse City as
county seat, we will out rival our sister
towns. 1t has been claimed by some
that Palouse city laid to close to the
mountains on the east. We wish to saw
right here that we have farming
country forty miles east of us that can
raise more wheat than the s. & 2. R.R.
will be able to carry off this season.
Our timber alone will give employment
to hundreds of men for years to come.
There is now in course of construction
between ten and twelve new buildings.
among them being large building sixty
BY eighty for public hall with stage
forty by twenty four for theatrical enter
tainments. As soon as brick can be
procured there is in contemplation three
new brick buildings. We have new
school house with an attendance Of one
hundred and twenty-five scholars, built
at cost of nearly four thousand dollars !;
two churches, Christian and Methodist.
-Four secret orders, Masons, Odd Fellows,
knights of Pythias and A. O. U. w.
Quite large amount of money has
been raised for grand celebration on
the Fourth, and the first annual ball of
K. of p, will take place in the evening.

good time you may think l am BORE,
so l will subscribe myself. BURNS.

PUBLIC TIMBER,

Shortly after Commissioner Sparks
assumed the duties of his Office, an orde,
vas issued from his department prohibit.
ing al persons from cutting growing
trees on mineral lands, that-was less than
eight inches in diameter. In many parts
Of the west and northwest there 10 found
what is called the "Lodge pole" pine,
which seldom, If ever, grows larger than
eight inches in diameter, when it reaches
maturity, and then, after time, dies
down and is replaced by new growth
Of the sans class Of tree. In many
places, especially on the high mountains,
no other class Of timber can be found.
The commissioner order virtually max
ing settler or miner, who could not
obtain other timber, liable to prosecution
if he cut little fire.wood fer his own
use. Governor Stevenson readily saw
the injustice this order would work upon
the people Of this territory and wrote
vigorous protest to the Secretary of the
Interior, wherein he stated that, strictly
speaking, the enforcement OF the order
would compel suspension Of work in
many Of our valuable mines, as no other
timber could be obtained on the mineral
lands. Various other protests have been
forwarded to the department asking a
suspension Of the rule as to "black or
lodge pole pine" 1t will DO of interest
to learn that the commissioners order
has been modified as per the following
circular which we give in full.

A CHANGE GOING ON.

The enterprise OF the various railroad
companies in the northwest toward ex
tending their system SO as to open al
sections to commerce, is gratifying in the
extreme, to our people. We have wait
ed what has seemed long time for this
development, because we had, before
coming to this country, enjoyed all such
advantages, and the deprivation of them
Of course, naturally would cause i'm
patience. But the natural law OF growth
and adaptability was simply being fol-
lowed, there has never been sufficient
traffic to warrant the building of ex-
pensive lines Of road. Our country was
sparsely settled, it was not producing any
great surplus. 1t has now but just be-
gun to reach anything like a substantial
quota Of the worlds supply, and shown its
capability for sustaining transportation
lines. 1t has been inevitable that many
hardy pioneer, most deserving Of peace
and prosperity, has been obliged by the
memorable hand Of debt and adversely to
pass out Of the ranks, and take his place
among the stracglers to begin anew.
All honor to them for their hardihood in
paving the way for the more favored sons
Of toll who should take their place.
So soon as the railroad, now being
built in this direction, shall have been
finished, there will be such an impetus
given to the growth of the country as
will call for the exertion of every thought
and muscle to meet the demands made.
There has never yet beea failure to
respond, and so far, there has been an
overpressure upon the transportation
facilities. There can be no doubt that
from this time on, these would be taxed
to the utmost. Our people now have it
in their power to lift themselves above
the waves Of debt and dependency, by a
prompt response to the opportunities
furnished them. 1t is the rapid concen.
tratiou Of the energies Of our people that
has induced the building Of railroads, it
will be no less their effort to keep them
supplied with traffic and combination
Of tho two forces will rapidly advance
the prosperity Of the country. The
agricultural interest will be looked to to
lead the whole business, as that is the
basis for all commercial progress. 1t is
gratifying to see an effort upon the part
Of farmers to perfect better system in
the management Of their affairs, giving
more thought to their business, calculat.
ing more closely the expenses and profits.
There is no reason why they should not
be as we'll posted upon market report as
the merchant, there is just as much need,
for they cannot know when is the bcst
time to bay or to sell, without this
knowledge. There should, too, be de-
vised some means to encourage some OF
the smaller manufacturing industries,
our country is sadly in need of them,
many articles Of trade are sent abroad to
DO manufactured, to return to us for
consumption, which. made at home,
would save two items of cost to the
consumer.
There seems nothing necessary now to
be done by our people but to pursue the
same forward, energetic course as in the
past, while engaging in rivalries that are
profitable, avoid those jealousies which
destroy peace and progress.
